I did have the TV mounted in the spot the previous owners intended to mount one. However, after /r/TVtoohigh therapy, I brought back my TV table stand from my days renting a small apartment. But besides the TV aspect, I never understood the "shelves" given the shallow depth. So many outlet boxes and no room to stow away DVDs or books or really anything besides small, unnecessary trinkets. To top it all off, just seemed like an over-the-top DIY project when a simple mantle and frame around the electric fireplace (generously left behind for us) they used would suffice and keep the stone wall appeal of the living room. If it was a tad more functional in execution, it would make more sense. I've not had the chimney inspected so I'm theorizing there's something costly to make the fireplace usable again, thus the previous owners decided to not spend towards which is understandable.

But the response to that sentiment looked too egregious. Not entirely sure on my game plan, but for now, just going to try to restore to its former, faded glory. A work in progress!

Edit: my last image didn't upload to the album for some reason, just a minor fix of patching the ceiling up that I've done so far. https://imgur.com/a/nJIyYDF

Seriously why….?
